Leaves floating on

Bestown a river’s drifting song

Unanchored of soul, slow waters somber pulling low

I caught the breeze

Just plucked, I didn’t decide to be

This dulling hue I've seen, void dreams awaiting empty sea

The churning rapids bring horizon’s edge

Bridging the lives of those who used to be me

Under the surface, I didn’t realize

Lucidly washed aside, back upon our way

Still holding weakly

Hollowed, I sway in a narrowing stream

Lost gazing other leaves, decayed and wilting on the shore

The churning rapids bring horizon’s edge

Bridging the lives of those who used to be me

Under the surface, I didn’t realize

Lucidly washed aside, back upon our way

Washed Aside

The wind’s howl drives a breaching torrent

Ripping the seams of ordered life

In media res, unneeded beginning

Unlikely, I coalesce into the body of a long forgotten birth

The churning rapids bring horizon’s edge

Bridging the lives of those who used to be me

Under the surface, I didn’t realize

Lucidly washed aside, back upon our way

The calming waters

Bringing the lives

Under the sky, I realize

Lucid, I'm free from lies, back upon our way
